Information icon Hello, I'm Bri. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Leo Burnett Worldwide, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:09, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Your question about same reference used more than once

I think the answer to your question is covered well here: Help:Referencing for beginners#Same reference used more than once. Cheers ☆ Bri (talk) 14:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)


Not Wilkins (talk) 15:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)== Table editing ==

Table editing in wiki-markup is arcane and can be difficult. You might want to give excel2wiki a try ☆ Bri (talk) 21:14, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much Bri I did it! May seem silly, but I feel accomplished for figuring out how to edit a table. Thank you for your assistance.

Projects I am Working on Right Now

So, in addition to watching the silliness on the Ben Shapiro page, I am using my free time over the Independence Day Holiday to update the pages I watch. The Ultimaker and Cura pages have some updates because Google Alerts won't leave me alone about updates.

The B2B e-Commerce page is still sad but now has been tagged for needing citations. I am putting on my Dickless Tracey hat and searching out references so I can add citations where possible.Not Wilkins (talk) 16:12, 3 July 2019 (UTC)NotWilkins

On the 3D printer front, got all pages updated based on Tom's Guide rankings. Not every printer had a page.....not taking that one on.Not Wilkins (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)NotWilkins

Looks like Trex is finally cleaned up. Fingers crossed. Giving up on Ford Bronco - those people are so quarrelsome - life is too short for edit wars.

Happy October!

LovelyLillith has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the preceding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!

'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.

Hi there! Just wanted to share some October treats with you. I know editing Wikipedia can be confusing or hard at times, but we appreciate your efforts. If you are so inclined, try checking out a Wikiproject that interests you - Women in Red could always use help!

If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!
